Resigning, How do I get home?

Get bobtail insurance and then get a "hunters permit". I did it when I got the truck I'm in.

 

How did you get the truck to their yard to get the plates put on it and Qualcomm installed when you started?

 

Photocopy the license plate, attach to some cardboard, screw it to the bumper where the original was & have a valid insurance card. Avoid scales.

If you are doing this on a Friday, it is unlikely they will be able to get that plate assigned to another truck till Monday.

 

How did you get there to lease to them ?

You get what is called a hunters permit .

You should have all the insurance you need unless you bought your collision and bobtail from the company you leased to .
If you belong to OOIDA just call them and they will tell you and sell you all you need

 

$2500 wouldn't stop me from going home. I would have went home, took a week off, let the last check hit the bank, then quit. Why?
what happens if one if their bonehead techs damages your truck while trying to remove the Qualcomm? That's you trying to argue with your former employer on their turf, and your word against theirs.

Btw, do you have a new gig lined up? Does the new company use Qualcomm?

 

Get a temp tag and bobtail insurance. This is why I still say drivers need to buy their own plates and just have their own bobtail and physical damage on their tractors when they're leased. Least then you're not getting screwed on a plate, and all you have to do when you resign is remove the decals and their qualcrap and you're on your way home. That'd be my suggestion you can get a temp from your DMV in your base state and a yearly plate runs about $1500 for a year some states prorate them others do not just depends on the state.

 

Call OOIDA, they can get you the insurance you need to be legal and tell you everything you need to do.

 

You CAN get a temp tag from your state dmv. I did it when I had no tag or anything and they gave me a 10 day tag to drive to milwaukee from charlotte….I had no numbers on the side of my truck either...

 

BTW, you can do that AS LONG as you are not pulling a trailer….
